Well folks, I would like to now say hello. I am new to this forum and I finally got my Dargie Delight II JP6. Brand new and it arrived Friday the 28th of May. I am just getting to know her and it has been a lot of fun. I have some pics to share and I thought I would add on to this thread a little.

First let me say that I think I found one of the last Dargie Delight II 6 left in the country. It was sitting there at Pete DuBaldo's place and I happened upon it after I started looking at EBMM guitars as something to try. I had watched the JP model's for years seeing if I wanted to get one, not looking for a few years and then coming back. It is just about a week ago I first realized that Dargies had been released. I didn;t even know there had been a first run of them with the martini glasses and the olive green color. So when i saw the II's and their iridescent color and that incredible ebony neck, against that green, I finally decided I had to have one. It has far exceeded my expectations. I had always dreamed of a very thin neck but got used to the idea that they came about as thin as the 62 reissues from Fender. I also got into PRS guitars in a big way and I am still a huge fan. But this EBMM will be my new main axe. The neck has breathed new life into me as a guitar player and what might now be possible in terms of improving and advancing my playing skills.

I was very lucky to find this green angel and I will never get rid of her.

Here are my pics to share. Thanks in advance for checking them out.

Cheers.

Jim

Thanks Pete, lifeson1, browndog for the warm welcome. Colin and joe-web, nice axes! I love the live shot. I can't wait to get mine into some action.

Yup, lifeson1, I am the one who got the DDII at Dubaldo's. I couldn't believe it was there! I looked everywhere, holding out a slim hope I could find a new one. Pete is really great to work with and his people are extremely nice and professional. I called to buy the guitar and Pete had gone to the other store but his guy on the phone already new all the details. I asked some questions first and Pete and his people were all really great in answering them as well. This is without a doubt the best guitar I have ever owned and played. And I have a couple of top of the line guitars (some may not agree, but oh well). Especially my PRS Custom 24. I have not played it for awhile now and I know after the playing my Dargie that the neck on the PRS will feel like a baseball bat now!

Well, back to work. Thanks again gang!

Best regards,

Jim

Jim,
Welcome to the brood, once you've gone EBMM you tend to never go back. . . or if you do, you keep coming back. . . .kind of like the Hotel California, checking out but never leaving (lol). Maybe not! Okay, I'm officially going on a Ball Hunger Strike until a new Dargie series comes out. . . JPX style, baby! Who else is on board? Ok, not that many - I get it! Probably won't last, either. . . . Great nab there again, Jim. Look forward to seeing it in action. . .
